- Our Story -

Kennedy Family Show Lambs is three generations in the making. We grew up raising/showing Dorsets and Southdowns competitively at the local, state, and national levels. In the late 1990s we decided to start raising our own crossbred show lambs for projects along with the purebreds. We continued to be successful raising all three breeds until our show careers ended. At that point we only kept the 10-15 crossbreds to raise commercial lambs and a few show lambs. In 2014 that changed when Shawn & Andy decided to take over with envisions of raising competitive show lambs.

Our flock now consists of 25-30 ewes with a majority of them having Marx genetics in their pedigrees. Our sheep will be well-muscled, moderate sized, easy keeping with a show ring look. Whatever you are in the market for: if it’s a show prospect or breeding pieces give us a call to come see what we have.
